Jade Is Twenty-One
Jade is twenty-one, you see,
time to drink or not.
Happy now to be so free
when drinking, there’s “forgot.”

Jade is twenty-one, what else?
The big Adult adult.
No one can look down on her age.
In this, we will exult.

This Jade is twenty-one fore’er,
until she’s twenty two,
but age we quickly over there,
until The Lord says, “Through.”

Jade is twenty-one, of truth?
My baby, yesterday.
This growing lady from her youth
doth love to sing and play!

Jade is twenty-one, I know.
I’m older it doth seem.
I’m proud of she, whose beauty grows.
She’s in my eyes the gleam.

Jade is twenty-one, today,
that little child no more,
but as she grows to Christ obey,
“I’m joyful in His store.”

Jade is twenty-one, I’m glad.
We are truly blest.
When she steps out, I’ll be sad,
but glad I did invest.
